For folks who have ordered a 2016, did you have problem adding the rear side airbags? It is not showing up on my order sheet, but dealer said it it's on there because the price increased by $550. My understanding is the cost is $420, did the price change?

On MY2016 rear side airbags and blind spot assist are now standard.

For US? Is there an updated ordering guide that shows them as included?

I'm looking for an updated order guide as well. MY2016 version 1 does not reflect this change. Scoured the web and nothing is out there...yet.

Just got off the phone with my salesperson. The msrp for MY2016 C63s went up to $73,250. It was S$72,700 when I placed my order 2 weeks ago. However, Blind Spot Assist ($550) and Rear Side Airbags ($420) are now included. Both items show up on my worksheet and there is no charge for both.

Will617 - thanks for the quick response

997 DistronicPlus $2,800


Rear side airbags $420





Current sheet shows…


BaseMSRP $73,250 Up $550


997 DistronicPlus $2,250 down $550


Rear side airbags now listed as a $0 dollars down $420
